with great spirit and seemed aroused to
unusual feeling. Then all knelt in
prayer, in which several officers led; they
were frequently Interrupted with
amens, haIlelujahs, Praise God"
BLESS the Lord" and similar ejacuIa-
latiOns, their earneSmeSS preventing
any irreverent person from laughing.
While still on their knees two
songs were sung, and after a
closing prayer from Mrs Booth
they rose, and Staff Captain Ashmau
sang solo, There Is Cleasing for Me-"
The people, as usual. joined in the
chorus, but not with sufficient vigor to
suit their visitor; who said: Clap
your hands. Why Daniel told the
priests to clap their hands and sing, and
he must have been very happy when he
said it. The SalvationiStS are happy
to-day-clap your hands and sing: pour
out your whole soul III song" and they
did. The 800 people in the barracks made

the Exposition building until a police
officer identified them. In the hall an
Over-officiouS subaltern of the army re-
fused to permit them to reach the
reporters table until, through the kind
offices of another police officer, the mat

when the usual courtesies were at once
extended. The converted minstrel
sang recital of his conversion to
the tune of Capt. Jinks," and he
danced good minstrel ''hoedown,"
while the sisters and brothers, with
brass band, piano and tambourine
accompaniment, sang the chorus.
Marshal Booth then gave resume of
the army, showing what a mighty intiu-
